Geography & the Environment
PANTANAL WETLANDS
by João Farkas
Description
Rich in biodiversity, the Pantanal is one of the largest floodplains on the planet, a region of encounter and transition between different natural profiles in South America. The Pantanal flood regime determines a monumental natural beauty, and the rhythm of heterogeneous wildlife. Water, land, native vegetation and animals. Minerals, fire and dust, crops and grazing. All of this is in the very current portrait that João Farkas makes of the Pantanal. The biome, which has been suffering from the escalation of human aggressions to the environment, appears here in all its majesty, in panoramic images that blend with portraits of locals (“pantaneiros”), trees and animals.
